English Composite Confusion - How the heck is this tallied?

<p>Okay so this is what I got:</p>

<p>Composite - 32</p>

<p>English - 35
Math - 34
Reading - 31
Science - 29</p>

<p>Okay that's all fine and dandy, but within my English score, the subscores are 18 and 18. And I know the website says that there is no "direct arithmetic relationship" between your subscores and composite scores, and that it's not the sum of your subscores. But I just don't understand how I got the highest possible scaled scores in the English subscore, and yet the composite English score is not a 36. </p>

<p>I'm guessing the 18 and 18 means that I may have gotten one or two wrong, but the scaled subscore comes out to be perfect, and yet those incorrect answers are recounted in the composite? I'm confused >.< And the only reason it matters is because a 36 on English would bump the total composite up to a 33.</p>

<p>Anyway, please explain if you know why.</p>
